CALLAWAY SUPERCHARGED CORVETTE C8 PROTOTYPE MAKES APPEARANCE AT CARLISLE EVENT
Callaway Cars adds forced induction to the Corvette C8 platform. They offer a sneak peek for attendees of the legendary Corvette-only event at the Carlisle Event in Pennsylvania.
Kalvin decided it was now or never, and bought the 1983 VW Golf MK1 GT without seeing it. Then he stuck it on a transport truck down to Durban.
Owner: Kalvin Moonsamy: Location of the vehicle: Durban
KalvinMoonsamy has been building Golf Mk1s for the past 12 years. He got into the drag racing and modifying game because of his family and their love and interest in all things VW. Like all MK1 VW lovers, he always had his eye on finding and building a 2-door which isnt easy to come by in SA.
The lightweight prototype makes its world debut alongside the RUF SCR at the exclusive Monterey event on Friday, August 19, at the Bergmeister at the Quail.
Renault recently leaked a new show car that is planned to be made in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Renault 5 Turbo model.
Based on the iconic Renault 5 Turbo model, the show car is rumoured to carry a full-electric powertrain. Also, they draw design inspiration from the video game aesthetic of the 1980s.
My feeling is that Dion got this car just right, not too much and not too little. The wheel offset and stance are just about perfect and we all know how that makes or breaks the look of a street machine. Not a sleeper and not in your face, a Muscle car equilibrium, if you will.
The dead straight black body plays in tune with the black-on-black interior. Swirled brushed metal adorns the dash and centre console, also known as engine turned, all I know is it looks sweet. Also, the steering wheel pops off nicely against the dark interior with its green energy absorbing centre.
The 3 Slooten brothers have been very well known in the local drag racing community. Especially for having some mean big-block V8 American cars that are all hellishly fast! Like the 1972 Mach 1 Mustang.
I WAS IN LOVE AND MADE AN OFFER ON THE SPOT WITH THIS CHRYSLER 383, NAMED BLACK BETTY.

Big girls. Yes, I like them and I am not shy to admit it. Black Betty is her name and she is a “big girl”. Now I am going to elaborate on how I like my cars big, big engines.
No wimpy small blocks for me. Big bodies, there needs to be space for all my pals and a cooler box. Big seats, preferably a bench so the missus has no excuse not to sit close. So now that we have established that I like my cars big, we can carry on.
With sinister looks and a specially modified 5.0-litre V8 the most powerful 5.0-litre V8 ever, projecting 500 horsepower Ford Mustang Dark Horse expands the lineup. They set a new benchmark for American street and track performance that could only come in a Mustang.
